Thomas M. Crady, vice president of student services at Grinnell College in Iowa, will take over as dean of the College at Dartmouth starting in January, College President James Wright announced Thursday. The position is currently filled by Acting Dean Dan Nelson, who took the post after Dean Jim Larimore left for Swarthmore in August 2006.
Hayley Petit, who was to be a member of the Dartmouth Class of 2011, was killed today when her home was invaded in Cheshire, Conn., according to the Hartford Courant. Her sister and mother, Michaela Petit and Jennifer Hawke-Petit, were also killed in the attack.
With "Dreamgirls" out of contention (sabotaged by Dreamworks/Paramount's shameless pimping?), this is the most open Best Picture race in years. Thanks to its feel-good momentum leading up to awards season -- not to mention a hilarious take on cheeky senior citizens, which I think will snag Alan Arkin an Oscar, if only because Hollywood hates Eddie Murphy -- "Little Miss Sunshine" is my pick to upset critical darling "The Departed" for BP. Let's just hope the Academy doesn't go all "Crash" on us and award top honors to the overrated, self-important ensemble flick of the bunch ... ahem, "Babel."

Mark T. Hegel, Ph.D. of the psychiatry department and the Norris Cotton Cancer Center at Dartmouth Medical School recently conducted a study showing that almost half of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients are afflicted by significant emotional distress or symptoms of psychiatric disorders before treatment. Hegel and his colleagues screened 236 women faced with breast cancer diagnosis and assessed the patients' emotional and mental health. All of the women reported that their new diagnosis was a source of stress, and this stress was significant enough in almost half the women to possibly merit treatment. Roughly one-tenth of the women showed symptoms of major depression, and another 10 percent had symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Because the symptoms of emotional stress often become even worse after treatment begins, Hegel suggests assessing the mental health of more cancer patients.
